Did you know that infamous former vice president Spiro T. Agnew was from Maryland? Generally remembered for his speeches and resignation, Agnew had a significant impact on the modern Republican Party.
Agnew is known for his efforts to be representative of the ‘silent majority.’ Join us for an evening author talk with Charles J. Holden, Jerald E. Podair, and Zach P. Messitte, the authors of the book Republican Populist: Spiro Agnew and the Origins of Donald Trump’s America. A fascinating political portrait of Agnew from his pre–vice presidential career through his scandal-driven fall from office and beyond, this book is a revelatory examination of Agnew’s role as one of the founding fathers of the modern Republican Party. – University of Virginia Press
The authors will discuss the book and historical context in a panel format, followed by a question and answer session as time allows.
